This is a standard part of the hair growth cycle, so finding hairs around your home or in your brush is perfectly normal.<\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1766160120099\">\n<h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What causes hair to break or fall out more than usual?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Excessive heat styling, frequent hair dyeing, lack of brushing, seasonal changes, hormonal shifts after having a baby, and genetic predisposition can contribute to hair loss or breakage. Each of these factors can stress your strands or scalp, leading to increased shedding or thinner hair.<\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1766160120100\">\n<h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">How can using straighteners and hair dryers affect your hair?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Frequent use of straighteners and hair dryers can dry out your strands and weaken the hair shaft, leading to breakage. High heat may even burn hairs straight off, so lowering the temperature helps reduce stress on your locks.<\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1766160120101\">\n<h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why might your hair shed more after having a baby?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">You may notice increased shedding about 3-4 months after giving birth due to dropping oestrogen levels. During pregnancy, higher oestrogen results in thicker hair, but after delivery this level falls, triggering temporary hair loss that usually regrows naturally.<\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1766160120102\">\n<h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What can you do to protect your hair from seasonal damage?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Getting a trim before summer and regularly throughout the year helps maintain healthier hair by removing damaged ends. Sun exposure and swimming pools can dehydrate or affect coloured hair, so preventative trims keep your locks in better condition.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I seem to spend my life gathering lengthy ginger hairs around the household.
